About the book:The last thing Brett Ross wants is to be back in the same old damn small town he grew up in, but his best friend is getting married, so there’s no way he’s skipping yet another visit back home. He knows what he’s getting into, coming back here, but the one thing he didn’t count on was the way Anna Hamilton made him feel the first time he sets eyes on her…and she’s all grown up.Anna’s always been in love with Brett, even if she’s always been his best friend’s annoying little sister to him. But when he looks at her, she doesn’t see annoyance in his eyes anymore. If anything, she sees a silent calling for her to save him from himself…and she’s just the girl to do it. All she needs is to find a way to escape her pesky, protective older brothers…And then the game is on.

EXCERPT

She
glowered down at the place card. Craaaapppp. Why had she thought drawing a
perfect little heart in the upper left corner of the card was a good idea? With
that there, how was she supposed to sit next to him throughout dinner and act
like she didn’t know he knew she was half in love with him? Maybe it wasn’t too
late to switch his seat...after she gave him a new card minus a heart. She
reached for his card, but as soon as her fingers closed around it, she sensed him
behind her.

Son
of a...

“Whatcha
doing?” he asked.

“Nothing.”
She hugged the piece of paper close to her chest and turned to face him. “Why?”

“You’re
hiding something.” He pointed at her hand. “What is it?”

Damn
him and his eagle eyes. “Your...uh...place card.” She forced a smile.

“It’s...uh...spelled wrong. Totally wrong.”

Smooth,
Anna. Real smooth.

He
raised a brow. “‘Brett Ross’ is spelled wrong?”

Why
couldn’t he have a harder name to spell?

“Yep.
Mom’s been really stressed out with all this wedding stuff.” She sent a silent
apology to her mother for making her the scapegoat. “I’ll get rid of it. She’d
feel horrible about the error.”

Brett
held out his hand. “Oh. Okay. Just give it to me, then. I’ll shove it in my
pocket so she doesn’t see.”

“No.
I have it. It’s fine.” She stepped back from him even more, but her back hit
the chair. She had nowhere else to go. “I’ll hide it in my pocket.”

“You
don’t have any pockets on your dress.” His gaze slid down her red satin
cocktail dress, lingering on her legs. Or had she imagined the part about
lingering? “I’ll take it.”

She
shook her head. “No. I’m not handing it over.”

He
put his hands on his hips, doing his best to look casual—but she knew his
tricks—then shot his hand out, trying to snatch it out of her fingers. She
jumped back and hid it behind her back. “You’ll have to be smoother than that
if you want to fool me. You’ve been doing that move since you were eight,
Brett-Brett.”

His
lips twitched at the old nickname. She’d started using it when he started
calling her Twinkletoes. It wasn’t very original, but it had annoyed him, so
she’d gone with it. “Tell me what’s really happening. You’re up to something.”

She
lifted her chin. “Am not.”

“Are
too.”

She
rolled her eyes. “How old are we again?”

“Old
enough for what I’m about to do to get that card.”

He
took a step toward her, and she tried to back up. She didn’t budge. Oh. Right.
The chair. He held out a hand and narrowed his eyes on her. “Last chance. If
you don’t give it to me, I’m going to tackle you to the floor and tickle you
until you give in. And we both know you’ll give in.”

Anna’s
mouth went dry at the thought of his body pressed against hers. “If you’re
tackling me, it better be for something a lot more exciting than tickling.”

“Anna...”
His eyes darkened slightly, and he took a small step toward her. “You better
watch what you say to me. Someone might get the wrong idea. We’re not kids
anymore.”

“I’m
glad you noticed.” She lifted her chin. “Bring it, Brett-Brett.”

“You
have no idea what you’re asking for.”

“Are
you so sure about that?” she asked slowly, locking eyes with him.

He
took a step in her direction, his eyes on her mouth. Holy crap, was he going to
kiss—?“One.”
He stepped closer. “Two.” Another step. “Three.”

He
was in front of her, their feet touching. He, quite unfortunately, stopped
there.

“Anna...”

“Well?
What are you gonna do now?” she asked breathlessly.
